October Pickups

[bobc88]

This is my favorite pick up in a long while. Nice '61 Bell Brand Duke Snider. Much nicer than the PSA 7 I had my eye on for quite some time.

Great Snider, looks great in the SGC holder.

Ive never seen this card before and it is stunning! Might have to file that away in the memory banks to get one day. Beautiful color and picture. Reminds me of the 53 Bowman Color.

Great looking card. It certainly looks to be under graded to me. I can see why it beat the PSA 7. Centering and overall eye-appeal makes that card pop! Congrats.

If memory serves, the jingle for the Bell Brand snack chip company was, "IF IT'S BELL, IT'S SWELL!". You sure got yourself a swell Snider.

Such a peaceful, serene backdrop to go with that cool-looking, elegant full-length portrait of Duke. I could look at that card all day. Congratulations bro, and thanks for sharing your joy with us.

I honestly am not trying to railroad anything or anybody, but you might be interested in hearing that I devoted chapter 10 of my forthcoming book on postwar regionals to the Bell Brands. It's entitled, "Old MacDonald Had a Farm". Happy for you. ---Brian Powell

Thanks for all of the appreciation for the Bell Brand Snider. If I could only find the rest of the set in comparable condition. Here are a few others I acquired in the last week or so.

Another Duke.

Nice Santo. I've grown to appreciate the Topps All Star subsets; even the '68s.

And the closest I'll probably get to an Aaron RC for now.

New addition to the Rookie Collection:

I am not a Rose collector, but a set builder/collector. I have been slowly inching my way through (okay, more of just starting out) the 65 OPC set. In a grouping of regular Topps 65s I recently won, I came across this 65 OPC Rose. This is the kind of surprise that is appreciated.

Really pleased with the centering on this one. Thanks Invest In Baseball.
